Zziplex Rods

[tilly]

This may be a daft question but how can you tell makes of Zziplex rods.I have been offered a zziplex rod but there is no other markings on it apart from zziplex on the tip section and zziplex on the but section.Its a 13ft rod with 2 equal sections 6ft 6" each and my guess is it has been redone as its it quite good condition

dont know if all zippys are the same but mine has a longer tip section and i know a few others do but as i said i dont know if all zippys have longer tips .

Take it along to someone who's used Zzipies for years and you might find out.

There are lots of different models but it could be a GSI, 50/50, XTR 50/50 amongst others.

Very difficult to tell without seeing the rod.

Zippy rods

I have a zippy it's red and silver called a zero plus and the tip is longer than the butt. Every zippy I have ever seen has a longer tip.but I do know they did do one which was equal sections it was called the 50/50. Hope this helps m8.

M4, m4 evo, m4 gt and the m4 Hiflex are all equal sectioned rods

6ft 9 sections, around 13ft 5 assembled

All very good rods.

Ive now discovered it's a M4!!

[CHUKKA]

Surprised its got a zziplex label on the tip! Very slim rods.

Have you discovered it by the badge or has someone told you its an M4.

Without the relevent stickers it will be purely a guess and my guess without the sticker info it could well be a snide.

[quagmire51]

It does seem
Strange to have labels on both tip and butt to be an m4, most zziplex rods only have stickers on the butts from the time the m4 was released.

Can you post pics and maybe give us an idea of the blank diameter, this will get us a wee bit closer to Id the rod

Hello Tilly, if you are local to Sunderland you could take it to Rutherfords angling shop in Roker Avenue.. Andy knows his stuff and may be able help you.

Im affraid to say its not a zziplex Tilly m8 as the top section is much bigger than the butt as i use a zziplex myself okay m8. the best man to ask is Primoman as he deals with nothing else but zziplex
